Installation Notes

Lock ring pliers should be used by qualified technicians familiar with retaining ring service procedures. Always relieve system pressure and de-energize equipment before disassembling any assembly that contains retaining rings. Ensure the correct tip size and angle are matched to the ring and groove before applying force to avoid tip slippage or ring deformation. Wear appropriate eye protection, as retaining rings can release under tension during removal or installation.
